“Get out”

Tatum, COTS employee, called me at 7:40 p.m. on my mobile phone while I was studying for my class. He said, “You have 20 minutes to get your things, then you need to be out of the shelter. You have to get out so we can give the room to someone else.”

My three year old cried, worried about her stuffed animals. When she went to get them, Hillary said in front of her, “You have 30 minutes!” [gee whiz, when we moved in they said we had four months; it hasn't been four months yet]

She cried and said to me "what will we eat for breakfast?"

Why would a homeless agency intentionally harm a child?
